The 35-year-old, who lives in Selhurst, told this website: “I was walking out of Primark at about 2.10pm and I heard screaming and shouting.

“I thought it must be the usual teenagers or something... [but] I ran to see what was happening and on the floor I saw a lady and a guy who was with her. I was told she was struck twice, kicked and laid unconscious for about 20 seconds.

“She didn’t know the day of the week [when she regained consciousness].”

Ms Newton explained that when she regained consciousness, the woman told those around her she had a three-year-old grandson, who was in a pram.

The pram was located just yards away and the woman was then reunited with the boy, who was visibly upset.

With the woman on the floor, Ms Newton called the police, and she also put a bag under the woman’s head in an attempt to make her more comfortable.
